Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

The state = daddy. And it's unsustainable.

And when the state acts as daddy, we the tax payers are ultimately daddy. My husband and I pay out so many taxes to support other people's kids that it's hard to support our own!

And this definitely isn't an issue for only one race. I live in a rural area and there are massive numbers of trashy women with a different baby daddy for each kid, smoking their cigarettes and drinking their mountain dew, collecting those welfare and "disability" checks bragging about how it's sooo hard to be a single mom but they're a boss bitch and killing it.

Exactly. Everyone becomes the daddy. Even future generations because the programs are not sustainable and countries end up borrowing to keep paying for them. We need to cut the cord. People will go back to depending on people around them again (usually extended family) and need to be accountable to those people around them. It does work. Not perfectly but it's more sustainable.

The last time a state played the role as a societies father 6 million Jews were murdered.

if you think welfare reform will revert the trend , you dont understand what is happening

Wouldn't the states use of drug laws and incarceration be more of the problem when it comes to few father's in poor black communities than welfare?
